My Exodus 20:12. My momma and daddy during their younger years. |
I love my daddy always have. My daddy was the kindest man I have ever met in my entire life and world even to today. It took a lot to make my daddy angry. He literally would give to others when he didn’t have anything to give himself.
The reason I posted my photo with my momma and daddy is that my dad was not only kind and generous but he loved his family. He and my momma both had family and friends alike that were not always family friendly with our family. I observed this as a young child growing up and admire my mom and my dad for sticking with one another no matter who or what tried to tear them down. They were inseparable and my momma even after my daddy passed away knew no one could ever compare to dad.
Daddy put his wife first ( momma) and me and my sisters and then everyone else. I’m positive he got conflict for that but he stood his ground. He wasn’t educated in the system and was never given a formal schooling opportunity because he had to work on the family farm. He then went on to support his wife, our momma and our family however he could.
Daddy was not to proud to watch us girls- he cooked, cleaned and whatever he needed to do to help momma out. They helped one another’s. Daddy never asked for mommas help but he taught us some valuable lessons about changing tires, filling fuel and oil and maintenance on a car. He always spoke favorably of momma and never spoke an unkind word about her - to her- in front of us kids or to his family or friends. Daddy never spoke anything unkind and never disrespected momma by talking to us girls about momma ever. Those types of relationships were unheard of and dads or moms were never friends or secret confidants of their children- they were adult and parents.
We knew that daddy and momma always stood together so we could commit nothing and we couldn’t ever use one against the other- and we didn’t attempt it.
We never disrespected momma because daddy would have whipped our behinds. Daddy had a great deal of trust for momma and for us girls. He never allowed others to talk down or negative toward momma or us girls.
Daddy is in Heaven but us girls knew the love and respect daddy had for us and our family by how he treated momma.
Happy Father’s Day daddy I sure have missed you. You were the best daddy ever that anyone could ever want and I miss you and your presence more than ever. I also wish daddy that you could have met my family and I especially wish you could have met our daughters . You would have loved them and respected them too and you would have shown them nothing but the love and kindness that was your natural DNA. Like the mind and heart of God.
With love,
Your daughter ❤️
